Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa has once again emerged as a global winner after beating off competition from more than 1000 hotels across 41 countries to clinch the 2012 eCristal Global Award, the highest hospitality accolade for food and safety standards.

The eCristal Global Award is presented to the hotel which has clearly demonstrated the highest standards as part of the eCristal Food Safety Program in maintaining excellence across a range of stringent criteria.
